Replacement Card

The resident card replacement fee is $10.00 for adults and $5.00 for minors (below eighteen). Resident library cards must be renewed every five years. There is no charge for the renewal.

Non-Resident Card (aka Visitor Card)

There are two non-resident cards. The $25.00 non-resident card is good for five years and may be renewed for an additional $25.00. The $10.00 visitor card is good for 3 months but may not be renewed.

Lost or Stolen Card

If your card is lost or stolen, please report it to a library staff member immediately. A block will be placed against your file so that no one else can use your card.
